Assessment Of Wind Energy Potential In The Chechen Republic
Abstract
The authors sought to examine the wind conditions in the Chechen Republic to assess the wind resource available in the territory. Most of the territory turns out to be an area with an average level of wind energy. However, the wind conditions here feature an uneven wind distribution across the territory and wind strength varying in different periods throughout the year. The wind potential of the territory is influenced by a set of physical and geographical conditions, the most important of which are geographical position, terrain, planetary circulation of the atmosphere, etc. The strongest winds commonly blow over open terrains and wherever orographic factors increase pressure gradients and lead to convergence of air flows, with annually averaged wind speeds to reach 5–6 m/s or over. Gross, technical and economic potentials were assessed in line with wind parameters distributed for the heights of modern wind turbines with a capacity of 750–1000 kW. The use of wind energy is promising in certain regions of the republic, where the wind speed is quite high (more than 5–6 m/s at an altitude of 10 m and higher above ground level) and in these areas wind energy can be most effectively used.
